Intersection Crashes in Kansas
Every day, we have to drive through intersections on the road without giving it a second thought, but crossroads can be dangerous places. There is a higher chance of an accident at intersections, which makes sense since you are potentially entering the path of an oncoming car. A lot of drivers don’t yield when they should, which leads to major accidents. Statistics show that nearly 20 percent of all traffic deaths and half of all major injuries happen at intersections across the country. Most of these accidents happen because someone failed to yield.
